If you Google "B-25 photos", you can see pages and pages of photos of different B-25 variations and color schemes. Armour released several schemes in their 1/48 line (I have one). Whats the best guess for how many pieces it will be in.

Is that all ? Is it a true 1/18 ( I know that there is an r/c-gas kit out there)It doesn't seem that big at all. Maybe multiples are possible. And yes we do need an A-10, and I think we will see one soon.

patience is a virtue!!! young grasshopper

pictures can be deceptive. I have the model in the picture and it's big. Makes the BBI F-18 look not so big. It will be about 50% larger than the Avenger. But it's not so outrageously huge that you could only ever have one.

Is that even the actual model in the pictures? Maybe just my pessimism, but I wouldn't be getting too excited yet.

Interesting part will be to see how many figures it comes with. I'd hope a bird as nice as I'm expecting that to be to come with some pretty decent crewmen.

I just for the heck of it measured the wingspan on my bed and it's almost the width of my bed, its a double bed. this is deff not going on a shelf. its deff not going to be able to fly thru the house too and it's deff not going to be under 100 bucks. it's going to be pretty heavy. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell with the A-10 (as nice as this plane is) this is going to be sweet.

All I got to say to all you plane guy's, I hope you don't hold your breath waiting for this bird. Anybody thats been around from groundpounder will remember the PBR, they even built a prototype. Its got to be 4 or 5 years at least and no boat....

sips XD.....

does a spit take ptfff!!!

wipes off computer screen ...

Wow - I can forget buying the F4 II now!!!

This is amazing - I checked in earlier today - -go to work - - B-25

The problem is which one - so many cool paint schemes for this beast.

Doolittle raid would be sweet - so would a gunship - will we be able to open her up for inside the plane scenes?

I'm heading to barnes and noble now to get a B-25 book...

I dont know what to do - where will we put these things? I'm already loaded - plus I want a Zero and Dauntless...

TThe F-4 is going for about $80-$90 ? I guess that the B-25 will be about $120. 21st is a little cheaper than BBI and AT. The AT F-4 is $140 . Yeah I think that will be about right.

The real question is will they be at Wal-Mart or the e-tailers

Didn't they do a Russian B-25 as well?

If so I want one .

I'm kinda bummed out because only a select few will be able to justify the expense and be able to find room for the beast without major renovations to your home. Still I'm happy for those of you who can and will get one.

WOW!

Can't hardly believe it!
This is the most exciting news from 21st Century -EVER!

Plane Nuts · Post by **Plane Nuts** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 8:33 pm

Sweetness, sweetness, sweetness!!!

This definately makes up for earlier in the month. This is how a market leader leads the market!!! Perfect choice to try the market with twin engined bombers.

Unlike some of you others, this is one that I will buy every scheme of. Probably multiples of some. I just want to put my 2 cents in, but rather than have 5 special schemes, can we have at least two that are relatively generic so that it will be possible to have a squadron without our displays looking too much like an airshow??

TKO: Are the images on the website of the model or of a real thing? I don't like the idea of having a B-25 model with an N-number on the tail.

MIGMADMAVIS · Post by **MIGMADMAVIS** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 8:40 pm

Im with you Plane Nuts on the whole squadron idea, cause I was thinking like 2, or 3 of the Doolittle Raid B-25 Units, cause I have plenty of room in my room to house them
